Detailed Solution

The given statement is False. Many towns were founded around marketplaces, where farm products were traded for the wares and labour of specialised artisans like weavers and shoemakers. Tradespeople and artisans organised the education of their apprentices and controlled prices through their guilds. In Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, towns grew around certain temples, such as those of Bhillasvamin (also known as Bhilsa or Vidisha) and Somnath. Kanchipuram and Madurai in Tamil Nadu and Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh were other significant temple towns. Townships also slowly grew out of pilgrimage sites. In the High Middle Ages, towns started to expand once more. The development of agriculture was one factor in their growth. Farmers had an abundance of crops to sell in town markets.
The correct statement would be Towns developed & flourished in the mediaeval period
